When I used to use that type of hotend (ptfe round bar with brass insert), I tightly fitted an aluminium collar around it to stop that happening - some people use jubilee clips also. It stops the ptfe from swelling in that area. It's not the greatest design though, i have to say which is why I changed to a different configuration. It did last quite a while though!
